A Northampton man has been sentenced to five years and four months in prison after he admitted a charge of burglary.

Anthony Ash, aged 44, of Booth Meadow Court, Thorplands, Northampton was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court after he admitted breaking into an unoccupied property in Olney sometime between January 28 and February 17.

The court heard Ash stole a digital camera and a gold cross.

Ash is already serving a three year term for other burglary offences carried out in Olney, and this new sentence of five years and four months will run concurrently to that.
